IsSausage PartytheSaving Private Ryanof CG animated comedies? The latest extendedsneak peeksurely supports that idea. After an innocent hot dog is sliced right down the middle, his food friends all decided to take a stand. In the process, they call an all-out war on the human race. But let’s face it. These guys are all pretty far down the food chain, and when the BBQ smoke clears, the jams and jellies have beed mopped up, and all the guac has been sponged off the floor, we can’t imagine these edibles will reign victorious.
Sausage Partyis about one sausage leading a group of supermarket products on a quest to discover the truth about their existence and what really happens when they become chosen to leave thegrocery store. This latest sneak peek brings new footage, and all of it is downright terrifying. While the R-rated animated adventure is being sold as an ‘adults only’ animated comedy, it surely appears to be equal parts horror movie as well.
This Pixar spoof features an epic ensemble ofvoice actorsincludingSeth Rogen,Kristen Wiig,Jonah Hill,Bill Hader,Michael Cera,James Franco,Danny McBride,Craig Robinson,Paul Rudd,Nick Kroll,David Krumholtz,Edward NortonandSalma Hayek. Producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are also responsible for creating the film, their first attempt at doing a full-length animated feature film. The duo previously penned the script for teen classicSuperbadand dope adventurePineapple Express. They made their directorial debut with 2014’sThis is the End, and directed the pilot for AMC’s summer seriesPreacher, which has already been renewed for a Second season.
Directing thisanimated horror comedyare Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon, who take their adventure gleefully to the edge ofNC-17. Though, the film is confirmed to have an R-rating from the MPAA.Seth Rogenheadlines this adventure as a hotdog just looking to get laid inside a delicious bun. But he soon discovers his destiny lies upon a different path. Here’s what co-director Evan Goldberg had to tell us about the movie as production was starting back in 2014.
“Sausage Party is an existential mock-Pixar movie, and we are very, very proud of it. It’s our opus. It’s like Mr. Holland’s Opus! It’s our take on a Pixar movie. It is very, very R rated. I wish there were fifty Pixar movies every year. But listen, someone should take those motherf*ckers down a notch. Those high and mighty bastards. We’re mocking all animated movies, with a special eye on Pixar. It is about a sausage in a supermarket. He goes on an epic journey to get back to his isle before the 4th of July, and reunite with his pack of sausage friends.”
Sausage Partyis hitting theaters on August 12. It will be going up against the biblical remakeBen-Huras well as Disney’s family adventure rebootPete’s Dragon. Universal will also launch the supernatural military thrillerSpectral, which is the studio’s answer toGhostbusters. And Paramount is releasing the biopic Florence Foster Jenkins starring Meryl Streep. It’s quite obviousSausage Partyis unique and not like anything else arriving this summer. That alone could make it an unexpected hit. While we await it’s gore soaked arrival, take a look at the latest war torn footage in the extended TV Trailer courtesy of Youtube.
